PDF to PNG MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides PDF to PNG conversion capabilities. This server allows you to convert PDF documents into PNG images with a simple MCP tool call.

Prerequisites

This server requires the Model Context Protocol (MCP). If you’re new to MCP, start by installing the SDK:

uv pip install mcp

Additional requirements:

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv package manager
• poppler (required for pdf2image)

Installing Poppler

• Windows: Download and install from poppler-windows
• macOS: brew install poppler
• Linux: sudo apt-get install poppler-utils

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/truaxki/mcp-Pdf2png.git
   cd mcp-Pdf2png
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   uv venv
   # Windows
   .venvScriptsactivate
   # Unix/macOS
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the package:

   uv pip install -e .
   

Usage

1. Configure MCP Client

Add the server configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json. The file is typically located in:

• Windows: %APPDATA%Claude Desktopconfigclaude_desktop_config.json
• macOS/Linux: ~/.config/Claude Desktop/config/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf2png": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-Pdf2png",
        "run",
        "pdf2png"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /absolute/path/to/mcp-Pdf2png with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

2. Using the Server

The server provides a single tool pdf2png with these parameters:

• read_file_path: Absolute path to the input PDF file
• write_folder_path: Absolute path to the directory where PNG files should be saved

Output:

• Each PDF page is converted to a PNG image
• Files are named page_1.png, page_2.png, etc.
• Returns a success message with the conversion count
